* GAMIN caused serious problems in gnubiff as it has a different locking
behavior in multithreaded applications. And of course it doesn't support NFS
etc.
* A general problem seems to exist for some people using several
applications that monitor/change the same mailbox at the same time. That may
be caused by FAM, a bug in gnubiff (we fixed some (all?) of these bugs in
earlier 2.1.x releases) or a bug in the other application. At the moment I
don't know any specific problem with FAM, there are only some non-specific
Does-Not-Work-reports;-)

Fine with me.
Are there serious general problems with FAM? Or just with GAMIN? At
Debian, we only use FAM for a good reason...

Hi,
we are still getting lots of bug reports that are in one one or another
related to FAM. At least some seem not to be bugs of gnubiff but
problems of FAM (or GAMIN, which causes even more problems;-). What do
you think of adding an option to disable FAM and fall back to polling?
